This invention relates to new end useful improvements in fare recording machines, such as may be employed in the collection of 1fares in public conveyances, such igor eze ample es street cars.

IThe objects of the invention nre several,

which, briefly ste-ted., are, first. to provide on improved form of :terev-recordingindicator through the instrumentality of which each fare is concealed when selected for the recording mechanism, and exposed after the operation of said mechanism in recording e fare, thus informing the passenger that, the fare paid by him has been rung np or recorded. Secondly, to provide an improved 'form of fare classification indicator which distinguishes between tickets and cash fare collections, in other Words, which shows Whether the fare recorded is 2i ticket` or a cash fare. Thirdly, to provide improvements in the feedin mechanism for vthe paper upon which prints or impressions of the fare collections are made. And liourthluv, toprovide cert-ain improvements in the pieten-controlling mechanism by means of which the cash Jfares and tickets nre differentiated on the prints or impressions taken. These and other objects incidental thereto will 1oe referred to in the `lollowing' description end pointed out in the claims.

When the gear 83 rotated in the vopposite direction, the shoulder 80 Will engage the pin 82, the shoulder 79 will recede from the pin 81', and theshatt 68 Will be rocked in the same direction, as a consequence the shaft 68 Will he rocked in the same direction irrespective of the direc-- tion of rotation of the gear 88. The gear 88 and shaft 8d are rocked by a segment 86 having elongated flexible members such as chains 87 and 88 attached thereto, see Fig. 2. The chains 87 and 88 extend out through the car. in which the recorder is placed. One of said chains' or flexible members, towit, 87, is pulled When it is desired record a cashiare, and the other member, towit88 is pulled when it is desired to record e ticket. The direction of rotation of the gear 83 is `determined by selecting the lieXible member When the 'flexible member 87 is pulled to record a cash fare, thelextended movement or' the ticket platen 63 is retarded. Similarly., when the member 88 is pulled. to record a ticket, the extended movement of the cashfare platen 62 is retarded, which prevents the platens engaging their respective printf ing members. These results are accomplished by the following mechanism, see Figs. 6, 7 and 8. Each of the platens G2 and 68 isfpro vided Awith projections 90 and 91 respectively, which are adapted to be engaged,

- singly, by an arm 92 piv'oted on a shai't 98 and attached to a lever 94 false pivoted on the shaft 93. rllie ends ci the lever 94e are adapted to be engaged by pins 95 and 8S secured to the hubs of the gears 77 and 78 respectively. lvVhen the gear 88is rotated in one direction to register a cash. fare, the pin 95 will engage one end of the lever 9e and move the arm 92 in the path of the projection 91, Which prevents the platen 03 engaging the type member 58. vl/Then the gear is rotated in the opposite direction to register a ticket, for example. the pin 98 will engage the other end oi' the lever 04.- and more the arm 92 in the path of the projeo tion 90, thereby preventing the `platen 62 engaging the 'fare printing Wheels 30 and 50 and thus preventing the securing of an impression thereof. in both cases, however, the platen 64 is allowed to engage the sta- 'ion nrintingwheels fie, lo and This the cylinder 10i.

result is clearly shown in Fig. 12, which illustrates a portion 'of the printed. record. In this View, column 97 is the station number column, column 98, the ticket column,

and column 98 the cash fare column. it Will l ce noted that, Whenever a ticket indication is printed. opposite a station number, the cash indication is eliminated, and vice versa.

Pope/f1 feeding mec/lancent. (See F 1, 5, Z and 10.)-l1l2tending from a paper roll 100, mounted on shaft 101 supported in plates l and 5, is paper strip 10:?l which extends between the plat/ens and printing type members. rl`he paper strip 102 passes in front oi' a plate 103, and the end thereof is attached to a Winding cylinder 10i. The cylinder 1 0-l is mounted on a shalt 105 secured to a projection 106 extending from the base 1 and to which the plate 108 is also attached. The said cylinder 10d is intermittently rotated to feed the paper strig by the following mechanisms: Mounted on the cylinder 10e is a dial 107 and ratchet disk 108. Freely mounted on the cylinder shaft 105 is a lever 109 provided with a plate-110 in alinement. with; the ratchet disk 108. The plate 110, in connection with the disk 108, lorms a Wedgeshaped slot 111 which receives a roller 112. rlhe roller 112 is wedged in the slot-111 by a pin 113 controlled by a spring lllt. lWhen the lever 109 is moved in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 10, said motion is communicated to the disk 108 and cylinder` 10i by 'the roller 112. l"Vhen said lever 1,09 is returned to its normal position, or that shown in Fig. 10, any retrograde movement thereof is prevented from being communicated to the disk 108 cylinder 10ft by a ratchet roller 114iY lying in a Wedge shaped recess 115 and wedged therein by a pin i115 controlled by a spring 117. The said lever 109 is actuated by the following mechanism:

' The said lever is provided with an elongated slot 118 which receives a pin 119 on an arm 120, see 5. IThe arm 120 is pivoted at 120a to a mem-ber 121, Which 'in turn is pivoted on studs 122 on the bearing 60 and side plate The member 121 is provided with an erm 128 having a slot 12d, which' receives a pin 125 on the projection 70 monntedon the rock shattGS before referred to. lfhen the rock shaft 68 is actuated, the lever 109 is also actuated and the cylinder 104i rotated.. The position of the pin 1.19 in the slot 11.8 determines the amount ci movement give.. said lever 109 ont the cylinder 1041'. l position is controlled by the diamet roll of paper 102 on the cylinder 10i. :ille arm 120 has secured thereto an arm l2@ that engages the surface ci' the roll of Paper on The inclination ot' the slot 118 will n'ieintain the arm 1.26 in engage ment with the or any other well known means may be employed for this.

Tll/henthe roll of paper is oi small diameter,

the pin 19 will be at the bottomwf the slot, and when said roll is of larger vdiametez.' seid ,in 119Will lie near the cuter end. ci 'the s ot. The movement imparted to the cylinder 1611, when the pin 119 is et the outer end of the slot, will be less than when the pin et the lower end of 'seid slot, Wliicli compensates for the varying size of the peper roll. The arrangement is such tbet the. sam-e distance o feeding movement 'will always be imparted to the paper strip irrespective or the size of tbe paper roll on the cylinder 19e.

Farc 'recording indicator or bl/nd, (Figs. 1, 2, 3 and L1.)-Monntcd in front o1 the fare indicating wheels 7, 8 and 9, is n vertically reciprocating blind or shield 160 supported on side members 161 und 162 pivoted on the ,shaft 6, ai'ljeccnt to the 'side plates 3 and 11.v

The blind 160 is provided with an opening 163, which, when said blind is in. an ele vetted position, exposes the Cash fare on the wheels 7, S and 9, and the Cash indication or Ticket 3" indication on :1n indiig cator 175 hereinafter referred to. The blind 160 falls by gravity, and is held in its upper 4position by a paivl 164 pivoted nt 165 and partially controlled by a spring 166. The pewl 164'cngages a projection 167 of the 7 side member 164, and is actuated to release tbe blind or shield 160 during the initial setting movement of the fare indicating Wheels. lithen a. fare indicating wheel is initially rotatedl to select the fare to be recorde'd, the alining pewl 25 will move out of one of the recesses 241 in its respe'ctive dial 23, which operation will actuate theframe 151, as before described. The frame 151 carries an arm 168 adapted to engage the pawl 164 and therebyrelease the blind 160 to conceal the fare indication. When the fare is recorded by rocking the slinft68, the blind is elevated'by an erm 169 on the rock shaft 68 and connecting rod 170. Therod 170 is providedv lwith an elongated orifice 171, which yreceives :i in 17 2 on the side member 161 of the blin When the'shaft 68 is rocked and the blind is in its lower position, the lower terminal of the orifice 171'will engage the pin 172 andmcve said blind to its upper position, Where it will be held b vthe pawl 164 until. another fare is selecte The upward movement of the blindmny be limited by a stop 16()EL attached to the plate 100 2. When scid blind is elevatedand discloses the farenit.indicntes to the passengers that the fare has been recorded.

Fare-classz'fcatz'0n z'ndz'cator, (Figs. 1,. 5 and o indicate to the occupants of the car that t4 e fare recorded a ticket or a cash fare, the following indicator isfprovided. Mounted in front of the fare indieating wheels, and in therear of the blind 160, is nn oscillating indicator 175 sup rted 110 on arms or side members 176 and 17 ivoted on the shaft 6 and lying adjacen to tbe plates 5 and 4. The said indicator 175 bears on its face the Words Cash end Ticlret, nndis adapted to be moved al- 115,

the lever 94 before referred to. The connection between the indicator 17 5 and the lever 941 is a resillentone to revent the sud 'den action of tbe lever 94` Yeing communicated to'tlie'indicator, and is constructed as 125 follows: The side member 176 of said indicator .is provided with a projection 178, whiclrlies between two members or arms 179 freely mounted on the shaft 6. The said arms 179 are connected by a spring 180 150 vis which draws them' together against the pio mounted onv the shai't 6. The member 130 is provided with a projection 181 extending,T through: a Vslot 182 in the side member 17o, and which lies between the arms 179. Atf tached to -the member'lSO ata pivot 183, is one end oi a connecting rod 184i, the other end o1- which is attached to thel lever E)-=. See Fig. 6. lhen the lever SH is actuated by the pin 9G, the indicator 175 will be elevated, and will be held in such position by a projection 185 onithc. indicator 175 engaginga shoulder 186 on a pavvl 187.. kThe paivl 187 is pivoted at 188.to the plate 5, and is partially controlled by a spring 189. See Fig. 5. The member 180 carries a pin 190 adapted to engage a cam surface 191 on the upper end of vthe pawl 187 when the indicater is in its up er position. When the lever 94 is actuatec by the pin 95, the member 180 Will be depressed and the pin 193 will engage the cam surface 19), thereby aetuating the pawl 1ST, releasing the projection 185 and permitting the indicator- U5 to be depressed by the member 180. T he relative movement between the member 180 and the indicator' 175, irnicli occurs before the projection 185 is released, vvill be compensated for by the springv 180B. lt will be remembered that when it is desired to record or print cash fare. the segment 86 is actuated to cause -the pin 95 to engage the lever 94, and it will be further noted that, Whensaid pin engages said lever.. the indicator 175 is lowered to expose lthe Cash indication on the indicator 115. Similarlvwhen the segment do is actuated to cause the pin 96 to engage the lever 9i, a tic tet indication Will be recorded on the record, and the indicator 175 will he elevated, thereby exposing' the his signature to the record, as is sh an in 1Q oy the signature John The cviinder 1li may licrotaed to exoosc' a` blank space on the record. by the dial 107,
